In fact, one of my first proposals for tor dot com was for me to do
with Anderson what Tarr was doing for Norton.

 As I recall, PA mentored Broxon. This one was minor and I'd actually
pay money to forget her Matter of Ireland novel, Too Long a Sacrifice.

I have read that, and forgotten it. I wish I could tell you how, but I suspect excessive amounts of alcohol were involved.
OTOH I do tend to forget books I don't like, unless some specific bit is just too terrible to forget. So perhaps the booze wasn't therapeutic, after all.
